FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along a line A-A in FIG. 4 .
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 , the present invention discloses a hanging scale sensor apparatus 1, which comprises a weighing sensor 10, an adapter beam 20, a support base 30 and a scale pan suspension structure 40. The adapter beam 20 is connected to one end of a bottom face of the weighing sensor 10. The support base 30 is connected to the other end of the bottom face of the weighing sensor 10. The adapter beam 20 and the support base 30 are positioned directly below the weighing sensor 10. The scale pan suspension structure 40 is connected to the adapter beam 20 for positioning the hanging scale sensor apparatus 1.
A fixing bolt is used to fix the adapter beam 20 and the support base 30 to the weighing sensor 10. Of course, this is just an example, and other fixing member structures may also be used.
Preferably, the adapter beam 20 and the support base 30 are connected via a limiting structure. For example, in this embodiment, the limiting structure comprises: an outwardly-extending protrusion 21 that is provided at an end portion of the adapter beam 20, closer to the support base 30. A groove 31 is provided at an end portion of the support base 30, closer to the adapter beam 20. The outwardly-extended protrusion 21 is mounted in the groove 31. There is a spacing provided between upper and lower faces of the outwardly-extended protrusion 21 and the groove 31 to protect the weighing sensor 10 from being subjected to an upward or downward force during installation and transportation.
Alternatively, the limiting structure is envisaged as comprising a groove 31 that is provided at an end portion of the adapter beam 20, closer to the support base 30, and an outwardly-extended protrusion 21 that is provided at an end portion of the support base 30 closer to the adapter beam 20. The outwardly-extended protrusion 21 is mounted in the groove 31.
In the foregoing structures, a two-way limiting protection is formed between the adapter beam 20 and the support base 30 by means of the outwardly-extended protrusion 21 and the groove 31. The upper and lower limiting faces of the groove 31 may respectively protect the weighing sensor 10 from being subjected to an excessive upward pressing force and downward pull force.
The adapter beam 20 may be adjusted according to the installation position, in terms of the length of the beam and the position of a hanging arm, which may be implemented by adjusting the thickness/material, etc. Such a structure may match sensors of different ranges and match the tolerance of the limiting size.
In addition, the size of the support base 30 may be adjusted according to the screw size, the strength, the cost, etc.
Further, a width L3 of the adapter beam 20 is smaller than or equal to a width L2 of the weighing sensor 10, and a width L1 of the support base 30 is greater than the width L2 of the weighing sensor 10.
The present invention also provides a hanging scale 100, which comprises a scale body 50 and the hanging scale sensor apparatus 1 as mentioned above. A mounting groove 51 is provided at a bottom of the scale body 50, and a scale pan suspension structure 40 passes through the mounting groove 51, such that the hanging scale sensor apparatus 1 is located within the scale body 50.
Preferably, the support base 30 is fixedly connected to an inner wall face 55 of the scale body 50.
Still further, a plurality of protective limiting members 60 are provided between the adapter beam 20 and the inner wall face 55 of the scale body 50. There is a spacing provided between the protective limiting members 60 and the adapter beam 20. Deformation is allowed to occur during weighing and the adapter beam 20 is supported and limited in two directions (being subjected to a downward or upward force). Here, the protective limiting members 60 are preferably limiting screws.
According to the above structural description, as shown in FIG. 6 , the hanging scale sensor apparatus 1 meets the following relationship: L>L1+h, where L represents a thickness of the scale body 50, L1 represents a thickness of the support base 30, and h represents a wall thickness of the scale body 50.
When the widths of the support base and the adapter beam for sensor installation meet the above characteristics, it is possible to realize the design of a super-thin scale body.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , In the hanging scale sensor apparatus 1 and the hanging scale 100 of the present invention it is possible to adjust the sizes of the adapter beam 20 and the support base 30 so as to adjust the position of a sensor mounting area according to the layout requirements, without changing the design and position of a load-bearing hanging arm. The vacant area may be flexibly allocated to other functional modules.
In conclusion, the hanging scale sensor apparatus 1 of the present invention may be assembled separately, may be placed inside a scale body according to requirements, and may further adjust the internal space of the scale body. The hanging scale sensor apparatus 1 has an adjustable installation position, and the sensor apparatus can realize two-way limitations, prevent overloading, and occupy small installation space. The hanging scale sensor apparatus 1 has a small overall size and thus, has little influence on the structure of the scale body, and is suitable for the design of a super-thin scale body structure.
Although specific implementations of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are merely examples, and the scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims. Various alterations or modifications to these implementations can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principle and essence of the present invention.
